Diseases such as allergic rhinitis, urticaria or eczema are not life threatening but can adversely affect the patient’s quality of life. For instance, in rhinitis, sneezing, a runny or a blocked nose may lead to effects such as headache, tiredness, an inability to concentrate at work, poor quality of sleep, snoring etc. In urticaria or eczema, the itching and scratching can almost be too much to bear. Skin lesions accompanying some eczema conditions are not only painful but can be so unsightly as to constitute a social handicap. 

The quality of life for an allergic patient during an allergic attack can be very adversely affected by their symptoms.

Today, allergic patients may suffer from moderate to severe symptoms for much of the year. These chronic conditions demand efficient and well tolerated therapeutic solutions. Such treatments must address the question of the impaired quality of life and restore the patient’s quality of life, or, at least significantly improve the situation.
